#StarTrekPicard // honestly it's appalling that seven of nine, an xB, a character STATED as being a trans/queer allegory this season, has the one immutable thing that people are prejudiced against her for be turned into a *literal infectious disease that’s taking over the youth*
i'm not happy about this episode for many reasons but this in particular makes me suspect that xBs weren't accounted for at all in this season DESPITE a character of that genesis/categorization being used as "cis baby's first 'bigotry is bad' moral"
all i gotta say it really sucks now having to consider a reality in which, if i follow this seasons' canon implications, there's a very real possibility that the setting i've worked so hard to infuse queer joy into might have to deal with some sort of lavender scare bullshit
